To our parents, special guests, camp counsellors, and our talented young artists...Good afternoon!
I'm so happy to be here with all of you to celebrate the unveiling of our Summer Day Camp Mural – “The Future Is In Our Hands”- at West Pembroke Primary School. This colourful artwork is a shining example of our community's creativity, teamwork, and unity, especially among you, our young people.
First, I congratulate all the amazing artists who helped create this mural. You have worked together beautifully under the guidance of our Art Coordinator, Charmaine Friday and Art Specialist, Jada Dean. This project brought together nine different summer camps, showing how sports and recreation can bring out the best in us, teaching us teamwork, perseverance, and respect.
The collaboration among these camps is a great reminder of what we can achieve when we come together. It shows that diverse groups can unite for a common goal, creating something truly special.
This vibrant mural reflects the colourful spirit and diversity of our island. It highlights the unique cultural mix that makes Bermuda so special and reminds us of the experiences that bring us together. The mural celebrates healthy, active lifestyles and encourages us all to enjoy the fun and energy that come with sports and recreation.
To our young artists, your work is truly inspiring. You have brightened this space and left a lasting impression that will uplift everyone who sees it. Your creativity has shown us how art can unite people and share powerful messages.
Let this mural remind us of the importance of unity, health, and well-being in our community. Let's continue to support the talents and contributions of our young people, who are the true artists of our future.
Thank you, and let's give a big round of applause to everyone involved in this fantastic project. Enjoy the rest of your day, and let's keep celebrating the spirit of creativity in sports and recreation.
